We set up two Light stands, about 10 feet apart, at the back of our set. Each stand was initially set about four feet tall so we could attach our background pole easily. Then we attached the drop to the background support and raised it to about eight feet (figures 19 and 20)

Now we see that spark in the eyes and the skin looks even better with the addition of the second light (figure 28).

Then we looked through the lens and had our assistant make adjustments to the lights' positions to get the effect we wanted. Once we were happy with the lighting positions we posed the model and made the next exposure (figure 31).

Figure 32 shows the progression of the shot to this point: one key light; the key light and fill light; and the key, fill and the separation light.

At this point we asked the model if she could put her hair up so we could see the separation light better. While she was in make-up, we added a magenta gel to the Dedo light to add some more color to the final shot (figures 33 - 35).

The following results show the model's hair up and the effects of the light without the gel and with the gel (figures 36 and 37).

The key to shooting glamour lies in trying new things to add interest. In our session, changing the color of gels is just one idea for adding different looks to our shots. You can also try various poses, different clothing and hairstyles, or possibly introducing props into the shots.

We took some more playful shots of our model. Some of these are shown below (figure 38).

We cropped in on these shots to put more attention of the model's face and not so much attention on the hat.

To add another touch, we added the wrap and got this shot (figure 39).

When shooting glamour shots, don't be afraid to experiment with your lights. Not everything has to be shot according to a formula. You may find some interesting effects that can be incorporated into your style. Happy shooting.
